Course Description

At the end of this active and engaging course, teachers will have a mix of practical and theoretical ideas to bring back to their classrooms in the fall. Learn about the various aspects that make a successful music programme, and experience different approaches to music education. Activate your own creativity as a musician and a teacher as we experience processes for inspiring creative and critical thinking in our students. Move, sing, dance and play the recorder and other instruments, experiencing the joy of music the way you want your students to.
